This biennium has focused on leadership to achieve
outcomes for global health. By learning from and
about STTI and the environment in which it operates,
focusing on priorities and aligning operations and
vision, the staff has been an integral part of moving
from vision to action.
As CEO of this exceptional organization, I am impressed
with the dedication and commitment of the
staff, volunteer leaders and members. As we continue
to work together, we will embrace STTI’s mission to
develop and support a global community of nurses
who focus on improving the health of the world’s
people.
I am a nurse … and I am a member of a global nursing
community.
